Well, if I had the levers I'd hang on too. Human nature.Ah, yes, the entrenched elites and their swamp dwelling enablers are not about to ease their grips on the levers.

TR took the Federal gov't into areas it had never ventured before in the belief that those of great means had the ability, and intellect, to fix all the problems of the little people. If only it were that simple! Wilson thought the same, but from a different angle. While there is a great deal to admire about TR, there's also some things that are glossed over and outright ignored. On the whole, I think he was one of the better guys to hold the office...but! As with Lincoln, or Washington for that matter, you have to take the good with the bad. His younger cousin took things to a whole different level after Mr Hoover vacated the WH.
Nope, not like our modern little marxist wannbes wearing their Che shirts and talking about the evils of capitalism while drinking a latte from Starbucks, wearing their name brand clothing made in a sweat shop in the far east and texting on their $1500.00 Iphones Mom bought them last month...

I suppose.I think you guys got a little off topic... lol
We're famous for thread drift. It ain't much, but we're proud of it!I think you guys got a little off topic... lol
He was in the woods near my hometown when McKinley was shot. Local legend has it he was unofficially sworn in as Prez by a local justice at our rail station just after getting the word McKinley died. Lotta TR love in our area too. And it's not good or bad, it's history, which comes in all sorts of flavors. You can either accept it or ignore it, but you can't change it. To each their own.you'll have that here.
as long as it stays in bounds, things will wander all over the map.
one good thing Roosevelt done was give the little guy a good chance to have a little sumthin in the Dakota's.
with all the monuments to him up there i wouldn't work too hard finding something bad to say about him if i was in the area.
True that. I still vividly recall a recruit at our Academy taking his first shot with the 12 ga Ithaca. He threw the gun on the ground- not a wise thing to do, but Mr Urban Attitude didn't like recoil at all!30/32 caliber handgun threads take on a life of their own nearly every time they come up. The more powerful numbers roar mightily, but don't kick much at all--that is a HUGE selling point in this country and Canada. I recall reading one old gun scribe--Jack O'Conner, if memory serves--"The American shooter does not being kicked hard by recoil". I suppose that extends to handguns as well as it does to rifles, which O'Conner was talking about in a hunting article.
I've seen conversions ($$$$), and having one chamber reamed to 22 mag is pretty common.Did Ruger make the Bearcat in anything but 22LR? I always liked them, to handle at least. Not sure if I ever shot one. If they made it in 32 Long that would be a great field gun. So would a 32 Smith Kit Gun, in fact that would be lots better. I know they made some of those, but they are hard to find and a lotta $$$ if you can find one.
Custom maker in Texas makes a 327!!Did Ruger make the Bearcat in anything but 22LR? I always liked them, to handle at least. Not sure if I ever shot one.

I have wanted a 22 Mag. Bear Cat for a long time.I've seen conversions ($$$$), and having one chamber reamed to 22 mag is pretty common.
Then you run into the same "no ammo" problem as the 22LR. I'm seriously bothered by the ammo situation as far as rimfire stuff goes. Nothing we can do about it, unless we want to start bribing people at the various outlets that get ammo. I'm told locally the people at Wally World are making a good deal of side $$$ doing just that, which also irks me to no end.I have wanted a 22 Mag. Bear Cat for a long time.
